While it had its moments, and while the performances, especially from Vavasseur, were borderline exceptional, the movie itself is just far too routine and familiar to achieve the thrills and chills it is going for.

Rated: 2.5/4

What Culture

What can be learned from Exorcismus? When left to their own devices, financial economists don't typically make very good screenwriters.

Rated: 1.5/5

FEARnet

Not even a few third act plot contortions can salvage the flick from its fairly shameless intent to color within the established lines.

This was an interesting take on exorcism movies. Music was pretty bad. Not a lot of jump scares, more psychological. Worth watching if you're into that sorta thing.

This film in my opinion shocks. It looks like a shitty film but like a book with a bad cover it proves you wrong. There's alot of things that makes you think "oh shit! did that just happen?!" all in all its a great film, especially for IFC standards

When it comes to horror movies The Exorcist ranks as one of the best in most film buffs lists. This is The Excorcist updated to the 21st centuary. Where it mirrors The Exorcist is in the idea of the child being possessed and the exorcising priest existing on the edge of social respectability in a world that has turned profoundly secular. So when our heroine Emma becomes possessed by Satan himself, and she is judged by her elders to be suffering from psychosis of a scientific kind, she is met by inverterate disbelief by her parents. Our girl is not a sweet child as was the case in the original Exorcist, she is a strong-minded, independant, death metal goth. She is also sexually active, despite being only 15 (although this is only implied at during the film). With her dark ideas comes a risk when she dabbles in the dark magic arts, setting a course for a terrifying ordeal for herself and her family. And in places this, being a horror film, is extremely graphic. But it is not a hack and slash gore-fest. It is a vey well written and well acted story that, when it diverges in plot away from it's more illustrious predecessor, is certainly it's equal. In many places it excels, despite a constraint on budget feel to it. Sophie Vavasseur certainly gives a commendable performance of the emotionally dysfunctional Emma. I like it.
